I recently switched from the proprietary ati-driver to the open source radeon 
driver.  After a great deal of sweating and swearing and experimenting, I got 
the xorg.conf file properly configured.  I have ati-drivers masked in my 
package.mask.  However, something in my system still thinks I should be using 
the ati-drivers.  Updating world gives me:

root@Merlin:/etc/portage # emerge -uDvat world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10" have 
been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1 (masked by: package.mask)
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.29.6 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for kde-base/kompare
!!! Depgraph creation failed.


Just to see what it would give me, I commented oue the ati-package in 
package.mask and tested updating kompare.


root@Merlin:/etc/portage # emerge -uDvat kompare

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

I'm not worried about the esound blockage.  That's another issue.  I'm just 
trying to figure out why my system thinks ati-package is a requirement.  I 
have a hard time believing that someone with an NVidia card would need that 
package, so it can't be a hard requirement.  Any ideas on how to track this 
down?  I don't see anything in the USE flags which might bring  it in.

You need to remove fglrx from your VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf.
